点评:We visited Vernale’s on Sunday evening, Oct 15. We were seated in the dining room, and that was fine. The restaurant wasn’t extremely busy. Jerry was our waiter. He and I discussed the menu a bit because I have a food allergy. The menu has a nice variety of entrees as well as small plates and side dishes. Because I generally have a smaller appetite, I planned to order some bread and a couple sides as my meal. Jerry informed me that it was house policy not to allow side dishes to be ordered as a main dish. Luckily, my husband was able to order my side dishes that he and I discussed while Jerry was tending to other patrons. He also ordered his own side of vegetable. When Jerry returned to our table my husband ordered the perch dinner for himself along with my side dishes. He inquired if that would be all right. Jerry allowed it but was not happy. In fact, that made him so unhappy that he snubbed me for the rest of our time in the restaurant. He addressed my husband exclusively, would not even glance my way. Very childish behavior for wait staff in a highly rated restaurant.
I didn’t mention that we are not alcohol drinkers. Our tab was about $100, and my husband tipped a full 20%. I’m not so certain I would have been as generous. And what I could have told Jerry at the beginning of his service to our table is that I had just had two chemo treatment two days prior and my stomach had been sensitive, so I needed to eat a lighter dinner. I didn’t want his sympathy, only to be treated kindly no matter what I ordered. I didn’t notice a disclaimer on the restaurant’s website or printed menu to indicate side dishes could only be ordered with the order of an entree.
翻译:我们于 10 月 15 日星期日晚上参观了 Vernale’s。我们坐在餐厅里,这很好。餐厅不是很忙。杰瑞是我们的服务员。他和我讨论了菜单,因为我对食物过敏。菜单上有各种各样的主菜以及小盘和配菜。因为我的胃口一般都比较小,所以我打算点一些面包和几样配菜作为我的餐食。杰瑞告诉我,根据酒店政策,不允许将配菜作为主菜。幸运的是,当杰里照顾其他顾客时,我丈夫能够点我和他讨论过的配菜。他还点了自己的蔬菜。当杰里回到我们的餐桌时,我丈夫为自己点了鲈鱼晚餐和我的配菜。他询问这样是否可以。杰瑞允许了,但并不高兴。事实上,这让他非常不高兴,以至于在餐厅剩下的时间里他冷落了我。他只对我丈夫说话,甚至不看我一眼。在一家评价很高的餐厅里,服务员的行为非常幼稚。
我没有提到我们不喝酒。我们的账单大约是 100 美元,我丈夫付了整整 20% 的小费。我不太确定我会那么慷慨。我本可以在杰里开始为我们餐桌服务时告诉他的是,我两天前刚刚接受了两次化疗,而且我的胃很敏感,所以我需要吃清淡的晚餐。我不想得到他的同情,只想无论我点什么,他都会善待我。我没有注意到餐厅网站上或印刷菜单上的免责声明表明配菜只能与主菜一起订购。
